It’s been a year since Typhoon Ulysses (International name: Vamco) made Marikina River overflow and swallowed almost the whole of pitch-black Marikina City, Philippines. People were crying in horror upon finding out the intense strength of Typhoon Ulysses. The alerts reminded them of the agonizing trauma they survived from Typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana) in 2009, only worse.
The vicious winds and torrential rains instantly escalated the water level of Marikina river. It resulted in catastrophic flash floods to nearby areas that desolated thousands of homes and killed 25 people in the city, plus another 42 in neighboring regions.
